How Did Mold Get into My Home?

Mold is a fungus that grows outdoors and indoors and thrives in warm, dark, and moist environments.

Unfortunately, there are many areas in a home that are susceptible to mold, such as underneath sinks or behind walls — areas that may require black mold removal. Due to serious health risks, professional mold remediators should handle black mold removal.

Common Causes of Mold Growth in Buildings

There are many factors that can cause mold growth in a building. However, a combination of poor ventilation and moisture is the main cause of mold growth in buildings. There could also be a leak in the foundation, and even something as simple as a lack of weather stripping around windows and doors can lead to mold. Mold thrives in moist environments and can spread quickly, so it’s vital to call a mold remediation company you can trust — Bill Howe.

Causes:

A moist environment: A buildup of moisture can cause mold growth and may even cause damage to your home or building.
A water damage event, such as flooding: After a flooding disaster, it’s nearly impossible to avoid mold growth. Address the problem ASAP to contain mold growth before it gets out of hand.
Water leaks due to faulty plumbing: Leaky pipes can waste water and increase your water bill. If ignored, leaks in wall cavities, under sinks, basement walls, crawl spaces, and attics can lead to mold infestations. Call Bill Howe Plumbing at the first sign of a leak to prevent mold infestations!
Inadequate ventilation: Poor ventilation can lead to high humidity levels and create a moisture-rich environment where mold thrives.
Respiration: While simply breathing will not cause mold, it can cause condensation, which creates a favorable environment for mold growth.
Cooking: When cooking, moisture is often released into the air. Steam, boiling water, heat from cooking appliances and even left-over organic materials can create mold. You can prevent this by opening windows when you cook and being diligent about kitchen cleaning.
Drying laundry on a rack: If you’re drying laundry in a poorly ventilated space, mold can grow. That’s because damp clothes can release moisture into the air.

Do I Need a Mold Removal Service?

It’s crucial to be vigilant for signs of mold growth, as they may not always be apparent. Look out for water stains or a musty odor, as these can be the only indications of mold presence. If water stains are visible, there might be mold behind them, potentially causing structural damage. When there’s an unpleasant smell in your home without visible water damage, it’s essential to follow your senses to assess if professional mold removal service is necessary.

Signs You Need Mold Remediation Services

Mold is something that is not to be taken lightly. It’s toxic and can lead to health issues. If someone in your home has allergies or other respiratory issues, don’t hesitate to call us for immediate mold removal services.

Signs of mold in your home:

Damaged carpet
Rotten smell (mildew)
Asthma and allergy flare-ups
Sinus headaches, wheezing, sore and itchy throat

Why You Need Professional Mold Remediation

You may think because mold has dried out, it’s dead. Not quite! It’s in a dormant state, ready to reactivate once moisture returns. If it’s not properly removed by a mold removal specialist, infestations will continue. Mold spores can spread rapidly in the air and circulate in your home. And when mold spreads to your HVAC system, it can grow in the air ducts. Our professional mold removal service experts are trained to handle all types of mold and will gladly provide tips to help prevent future mold infestations.

Call a professional if you have a mold issue in your home. Here’s why:

Professionals will locate the mold and contain the contaminated area
Prevent airborne mold spores from spreading into the air
Use the latest mold remediation equipment and methods like negative air machines and air scrubbers to remove mold from your home.
